If I'm a GM, I'm not taking a RB in the first two rounds unless they are a transcendent talent. Brooks was good, but nowhere near transcendent. 

Pretty much this. Of all the injuries for a RB too, you took one with an ACL tear. Just insane. Especially when RB wasn't even in our Top 5 need positions. Maybe not even Top 10.

Feel horrible for the kid. 

I'm hoping someone in the organization gets him in touch with TD.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, he'll just need to attack his rehab.

Reminder to all that Adrian Peterson tore his ACL/MCL and came back with one of the best rushing seasons in NFL history.

Its funny... a lot of people on the board celebrate the loss, cause they want a better draft pick, but then crap on the Brooks pick because he got injured.. 

Like you would think that those same people would be happy that he's heading to IR as it reduces the chance of us winning games while brining a talented player back next year..

 

This makes no sense. We don’t celebrate the loss, but we aren’t sad that we had almost won a game no one gave us a chance to win and we also stayed in a top 5 pick.

Brooks getting hurt is good because Chuba’s been a strength already so Brooks wasn’t winning us games with 3 carries. Brooks also isn’t “back next year” if he tore his ACL. He got hurt in November of 2023 and he has 8 carries in 13 games. He just got hurt in December of 2024, do you actually think he’ll have a significant impact on next year? Based on the last recovery timeline, he might be off IR and getting eased into the lineup in week 14 next year.

People are upset that we had a stud C available who’s helping Pittsburgh have a great year and we took a RB that is effectively missing his first two years as a 2nd round pick.

Winning by losing a very close game and Brooks being hurt again are two completely different things.

There’s a handful of day 3 RBs in the same draft having decent seasons.

    • This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case. 
    • And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo. 
    • I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
